Children's Rights Alliance Report Card 2019: Discussion
Ms Tanya Ward:
It is positive. We find the engagement we have with Government Departments when we are developing the Report Card to be open and transparent. We would submit questions to the different Government Departments and try to get behind the rationale for some of the initiatives that might not be happening or to try to understand what the delays are and we find that generally, most Government Departments are open to recommendations and ideas when it comes to the different initiatives. Ms Quinn manages all these relationships so she can give the Senator her direct experience of it.
